"Why do I need to file a FL state return on the gain of inherited property in this state?"
You do not. Florida does not levy an individual income tax so there is nothing you need to file with the state.
The Florida return in TurboTax is to report tangible personal property that is used in a Florida-located business or rental property and is filed with the county property appraiser by April 1st.
If you do not have tangible personal property to report, choose
Skip State
in the
State Taxes
section.
